Use A Tennis Ball To Fix Your Shoulders

Hi, this is Mark from the DVCC; I would like to give everyone a quick tip to help reduce shoulder pain and just generally give you better posture.

A lot of us have internally rotated shoulders; this can be caused not only by exercise but also from daily living, for example sitting at a computer, or just slouching in general. This often leads to tight pectorals, which means your shoulders internally rotate, causing a lot of shoulder pain. It also means you are very likely to have weak ‘retractors’ in the back of your shoulder; these help to support your shoulder.

All you need to is take a tennis ball, place it into the crux of your shoulder and then go up against a wall, then simply roll it around, pushing it into tight areas. What you can also do is raise your arm and bring it behind your back; you will experience some tight spots and possibly a little soreness, but the more frequently you do this, the less tightness you will feel and you will actually progress – your shoulders will begin to sit in the correct position.

Once you have done this for maybe 2 or 3 minutes at a time, twice a day, for around two weeks, you will then be able to progress to using a hockey ball or a cross ball, which is slightly harder, and you will find that again this will cause the same slight discomfort and tension spots that you did when you first started with the tennis ball.

Give it a try and see how your shoulders feel; I guarantee they will start to feel a lot looser and much better – let me know how you get on!
